Cross-functional-Development team
Cross-functional
The Development Team has all the skills needed to deliver a working and "done" product increment at the end of every Sprint. Cross-functional teams mean the team has all the skills, not that every individual in the team has all the skills.
Certified Agile Coach
If you consider a software product development team, they will have programmers, testers, technical writers, build & release engineers, technical architects, and so on. Together, this expertise plus working together in utilizing these help them to be cross-functional.
As a team, they have all the skillset needed. If the team does not have any required skills, the team needs to acquire the skills necessary. The Development Team is not dependant on other teams.
They are independent, and their work should not have a dependency on other teams. Having dependency with other teams will hamper the ability to deliver a "done" increment at the end of Sprint.
